Ausmuteants / Housewives Split 7"

Out this week is this split 7” by Ausmuteants and Housewives
for Total Punk.Both bands wrote a song
then sent each other chords and lyrics for the partnering group to cover with
no information on how the track is composed, so Side-A will be the original
version Ausmuteants and Housewives wrote and Side-B will be their
interpretation of the other’s song – clear as mud?‘I Wanna Sedate You’ and ‘Brown Out’ are the
two original songs, interchanged and re-arranged by the Australian
outfits.Ausmuteants scored ‘I Wanna
Sedate You’, a deranged strain of punk rock joy which is just as considered as
it is totally rampant.The Housewives’
contribution ‘Brown Out’ is a shrieking, sludgy force of chugging guitars veering
on and off course commanded by forthright beats and a gulping bass.The thing both bands have in common (apart
from the same chords and lyrics of course) is a sense of complete disorder in
well-formed and thought out songs.And
if you want to know what the covers of ‘I Wanna Sedate You’ and ‘Brown Out’
sound like, well you’ll have to get copy and find out!

Ausmuteants will be playing here in London as part of their
European tour at The Shacklewell Arms on Wednesday 10th June, get tickets HERE
